Background
Preveza (Πρέβεζα) is a commercial port at the entrance of the Ambrakikos Gulf. In the vicinity there are at least 4 shipyards/marinas where many visiting cruisers winter their boats. There can be confusion because Preveza is often used to describe the facilities on both sides of the entrance to the gulf, when I believe that technically the town of PREVEZA is on the NW side and ACTIUM is on the opposite SE side, near to Preveza airport. The 2 sides are connected by a tunnel under the channel. The Preveza side is where you will find the commercial centre, port authorities, town quay, town marina and a small yard in an inlet about 0.8nM north. The Actium side is where you will find the 3 large yards that accommodate hundreds of wintering yachts. From N to S these are Aktio Marina, Preveza Marina and Cleopatra Marina. Therefore Preveza Marina is actually in Aktium not Preveza!

Weather
Local weather conditions?
The approach is well buoyed from several miles offshore. Take care as there are shallows on both sides.
Check-in facilities
The Customs are in a new building on the Eastern breakwater of the town marina. The Port Police is on the first floor of an office set back from the West side of the town marina. However when it comes to paying, you may be asked to go to the Tax Office 5-10 minutes walk away in the centre of Preveza! Ask for directions.
